Booyeema Nickel Project – Western Australia
Helix Resources Limited 100%E47/1090 and ELA47/1089
The Booyeema Project in the West Pilbara is considered prospective for sulphide copper and nickel accumulations in mafic/ultramafic intrusives in Achaean basement under Fortescue Formation cover.
A detailed aeromagnetic survey completed in early 2008 as part of the Company’s broader base metal exploration strategy defined several discrete magnetic bodies associated with a regional NE structural corridor. In December 2008 an airborne VTEM electromagnetic survey was flown over the structural target. The survey highlighted a +800m long conductive body modeled at a depth of approximately 220m (depth is within basement lithologies under Fortescue Group cover). Helix has been awarded a grant from the WA Department of Minerals and Petroleum Exploration Initiative Scheme for 2009-2010 to drill test these geophysical targets.
